Preserved Lemon & Tomato-Kale Salad
This salad is simple to thrown together, yet is packed with vibrant and bold flavors. If you don’t have preserved lemons you can always use some lemon zest, although if you haven’t yet tried to make Preserved Lemons you really should – they are amazing!!
Scrape out the pulp and discard (or try using in a Caesar salad dressing), lightly rinse the rinds and chop into small pieces. Plan about a 1/4 wedge for each person. If you can’t find peppadews in your deli section at the grocery store, roasted red peppers will do. There are really no right or wrong amounts for this salad, just toss everything together and add more or less of each ingredient if you like. Omit the cheese for a dairy free version.
